I always find these groups suspicious. Even police and ice are full of overweight gravy seals. The ONLY groups of this many dudes that look that in shape are sports teams and the military.
That’s not enough to jump to conclusions, but these are not normal average white supremacists.
I got the sixty percent from the op. It says quite plainly that total digital sales are near 30%
And yet physical discs make up over 60% of game sales.
Just because they’ve enshitified new more profitable revenue streams outside of game sales doesn’t mean they’re not shitty for dumping the core competency that brought them customers in the first place. If physical game sales were less than 3% of their profit then they aren’t a game company and are already lost.
If all this data is leading somewhere it’s towards more live service microtransaction slop anyway. If the 60%+ physical of sales that all of their massively popular single player games are that small a percentage of their profit and “digital sales and add on content” is that large or means that are mostly a microtransaction company already.
While continuing to thrust harder.
I mean, with it they’ve managed to build a walled garden that includes the majority of every phone in the world.
We can probably assume trillions.
Yeah absolutely agree. I always but hydroflask bottles, but never through hydroflask. The exact same bottles and exact same lids are sold under a rolling list of random Chinese companies like this. Usually these companies do have real names, they’re just super Chinese and not worth properly localizing.
Hell, I recently got a new fancy video monopod. The official US name brand that sells it is harlowe. It sells for about a grand
I bought this exact same model from “yc onion” with a nonsensical name the “pineta pro” (said “pine-tah”) for less than half that.
I literally brought mine into a store after realizing how similar they are and compared them side by side. Even the stamp and sticker placement is identical. Like they clearly come from the exact same factory just with a different color and a different name printed into the same box on the side.
Why the fuck would anyone pay the 60% price hike just to have a known US company sell it to you? The really shitty thing is that I’m not sure how b and h is allowed to sell it. When I talked to my local camera store they said that they weren’t allowed to sell it because they were a brand partner to the US brand and couldn’t sell non us products without getting fined or dropped by their suppliers. Maybe b and h is just big enough to not have to care anymore, but that’s just going to be one more nail in the already dying camera store market.
